- How does the FriXion Ball erase?
- Friction from the tip on the barrel generates heat, and the thermo-sensitive gel ink turns clear. There are no eraser crumbs and no eraser to wear out.
- Is the ink permanent?
- No. It is designed to be erasable, so it fades in strong heat such as a hot car and can come back in very cold conditions. Do not use it for documents that must last.
- Does it work for left-handed writers?
- Generally yes. The quick-drying gel ink limits smudging, and the retractable design means no cap to handle.
- Can I refill it?
- Yes. The FriXion Ball takes Pilot FriXion refills, so the barrel can be reused.
- How does it compare with a standard gel pen?
- It writes smoothly and erases, but the line is lighter and less permanent than regular gel ink. For archival or legal writing, use a standard pen.
- What is in the pack?
- Three retractable 0.7mm fine-point FriXion Ball pens with black gel ink.
